WBC to KTX2 Conversion
What are WBC files?
WBC is a proprietary format for Webshots, a software used for viewing, organizing and sharing images. Webshots is currently owned by Threefold Photos and was initially developed in 1995 as a program supporting screensaver and wallpaper services. In time it broadened its range of applications to allow photo sharing online and in the early 2000s it supported one of the most popular websites of this kind (before Flickr, Photobucket or Facebook). Today it offers desktop application for storing and sharing images, as well as mobile applications that work on Android and iOS platforms. WBC files contain a collection of JPEG images that can be handled using Webshots.
What are KTX2 files?
KTX2 (Khronos Texture 2.0) is a container file format for GPU-ready texture data, published by the Khronos Group as the successor to the original KTX format. A single file can hold 1D, 2D, 3D, cubemap and array textures together with their full mipmap chains, stored in the memory layout expected by graphics APIs such as Vulkan, OpenGL and OpenGL ES, so the contents can be uploaded to the video card with little or no additional processing. Besides plain block-compressed data, KTX2 supports supercompression: Basis Universal (ETC1S and UASTC) allows one file to be transcoded at load time into the format the target device actually needs, while Zstandard and ZLIB simply reduce file size. The format is the texture payload used by the glTF KHR_texture_basisu extension, which makes it common in 3D assets for the web, game engines and AR applications.
